Between Greek Myths and Modern Magazines

The first day of uni has passed. 'Twas not too bad, after all, though I must say, very different from my first thought.

Myths and Legends class is more into Greek myths, I think. Not too bad, indeed, because myth is still myth and myth is a story. I love stories, so I shouldn't have a problem. At least that's the theory.

But I have no idea at all about Greek mythology. Unlike most of my classmates, I wasn't born with Greek mythology and stuff. I was born with Eastern culture, and so with Eastern mythology. I have no idea at all what they were talking about during the class. Everything I know about the Greek mythology is limited to Percy Jackson series...

I need to work extra hard to catch up with the others. Luckily I have bought a handbook for this subject, and it seems to give a basic information about these myths. I'm gonna need to read it before the next class, if possible.


Another thing that happened yesterday was the first writer's meeting, right after the class. Whew, yesterday sure was busy! 'Twas a meeting for a uni magazine, and I was already listed as one of their members! I'm gonna need to write one article about "Writing vs Typing" and one review about a book I haven't even laid my hand on -- and that's all for next week! I suppose this week I'll be extremely busy ... but at least I'm having fun.


To do list:

  1. Finish reading Through the Looking-Glass before the book for the magazine arrives. I already borrowed it, and I don't wanna return without reading it. I need to finish it today.
  2. Buy a new SIM card. That's for today, 'course. I'm gonna go to the city after the class.
  3. Write about the article. I dunno when the book (it's titled the UFO Diary) will arrive, so I better finish one thing as soon as possible.
Well, 'suppose that's all for today. I hope I can still work on Cobweb very soon -- I don't want to leave my idea decayed.
